It’s been a HOT minute & things are constantly shifting over here … So, let’s start with a little introduction 👋🏼👋🏾👋🏿👋🏻 As a Kingdom CEO, Mom Coach & Mentor and OBM (Online Business Manager), my journey has been a whirlwind of balancing motherhood & entrepreneurship. We’re talking family schedules, business schedules, cheering at ALL the baseball games & karate events AND empowering other entrepreneurial moms like YOU to conquer both life and business and finding moments of peace & self-care amongst the chaos. From living the high-life (so I thought 🙄🤦🏼♀️) and making the most income I’ve ever made to living in the valley of absolute burnout & feeling as if I had totally neglected my family to “fit in” with the “online space cool kids” … I’ve walked the walk … and now I’m here to talk the talk and help guide you through it all. Here’s a few fun facts about me … ➡️ I will forever shout & praise Jesus' name because He is the CEO of my life. ➡️ I'm a homeschool mom of 2 rambunctious boys. ➡️ I'm a military spouse (Air Force) … we’ll celebrate 18 years together & 16 married this year!! ➡️ I’ve called 6 different states home to date. ➡️ Ilove to read as part of my self-care … most of the time, it’s absolute smut. I’d love to have you join me in this little corner of the internet for the adventures to come! Let me know if we have anything in common below ⬇️ #kingdomceo #jesusfirst #momcoaching #ceomoms #motherhoodandbusiness #boundariesmatter #youcandoboth #entrepreneurmom #momprenuerlife #momandbusinessowner #businessmoms #guiltfreemotherhood #kingdommom #kingdommompreneur #seekjesus
No way you'll guess #3 😅 (also - the spelling...WTF 🤯) Hi 👋🏼 this aligns with my thoughts from the other day when I spoke to the polarization I witness DAILY while scrollin'. Mostly with food and health-related topics since that's what my FYP consists of (this and beautiful tropic beaches 😂😍 (one can dream)). I'm realizing something. I could go on and on about the toxic things I'm seeing online. But where does that get me? Where does that get US? Well, it puts us as low as them. I don't want that for us. I want to talk about the GREAT things about food, not the "t0xi©" parts. I want you to feel good about eating, moving, and mothering. I want you to feel less guilt for how you're currently doing things and more HOPE for what could be. So if these are the things I want for you, it starts with food positivity. Movement positivity. Mothering positivity. There are two guarantees in life: we all poop and we are all a little messed up 🤷🏼♀️😂 We all start somewhere and no one is doing it perfectly. NO 👏🏼 ONE 👏🏼 #foodpositivity #guiltfreemotherhood #healthcoachformoms #fearmongering #zerojudgement #healthempowerment #helpingmoms #balancedhealth #sustainablehealth #nuance #nuancedhealth #healthymoms #momof4 #momoftwins #momsoftwins #4under4 #happymotherhood

Two things can be true at the same time...did you know? You can't wait for your kid to start full time school: ✔️ he needs the socialization ✔️ he needs to separate from you ✔️ you're excited to see him learn and grow ✔️ he is excited for it But, You aren't ready for him to start kindergarten: ✔️ he just seems so little ✔️ you wanted to do more with him ✔️ he's your youngest and that's really freaking hard ✔️ you will miss him You can think and feel all of these things at once. Saying one thing doesn't mean the opposite isn't true. But, it is also okay if you do only feel one of these things. How do you feel when your kids start kindergarten? #motherhoodquotes #motherhoodunfiltered #guiltfreemotherhood #stayathomemomlife #sahmomlife #motherhoodintheraw #motherhoodalive #motherhoodlife #realmotherhood

Let me paint a picture for you My 2 year old is crying, laying under the kitchen table and won’t allow me to pick him up and hold him… My 10 month old, feeling left out, starts shrieking… We just received a message from our 5 year olds teacher, because she had a really tough day at school so we’re trying to talk with her about it… This was OVERSTIMULATION at its best!

Hey amazing mamas! Let's talk about something that often lingers in the corners of our minds - Mom Guilt. 🤍 It's a sneaky companion that somehow finds a way to creep in, making us doubt ourselves and question if we're doing it all right. So, here are three powerful tips to help you overcome that mom guilt and embrace the incredible mom that you are! 🌈 1. Practice Self-Compassion: 🌸 Motherhood is a wild ride filled with twists, turns, and unexpected loops. Understand that imperfection is not only normal but a beautiful part of the journey. Be kind to yourself. Acknowledge that you are doing your absolute best, and your best is more than enough. Embrace self-compassion like a dear friend, cheering you on through the ups and downs. 2. Set Realistic Expectations: 🚀 It's so easy to fall into the comparison trap, especially in the age of social media where highlight reels can make others' lives seem flawless. But remember, you are seeing curated moments, not the full picture. Define your own parenting values and goals. What works for one family might not work for another. Set standards that align with your beliefs, focusing on what's genuinely achievable for you and your unique family dynamics. 3. Seek Support and Share Feelings: 🤝 You are not alone on this journey. Connect with other moms who understand the highs and lows of motherhood. Share your experiences and feelings. Sometimes, just expressing what's on your heart can be incredibly liberating. It not only helps alleviate guilt but also provides a profound sense of solidarity and reassurance. Remember, there is strength in vulnerability, and opening up is a courageous step towards healing. So, dear mamas, let's practice self-compassion, set realistic expectations, and lean on each other. Together, we can conquer mom guilt and celebrate the incredible mothers that we are! 🌟💖
As a working mom, I’ve felt the guilt that clings to us like a shadow. The guilt of not being there for every moment with our kids, of not being fully present at work. It’s a tug-of-war between responsibilities, leaving us wondering if we’re ever doing enough. But here’s the life-changing realization I had: There is another way. A way to ease that guilt, to create a life that blends financial freedom with the precious moments of motherhood. I found the answer in this incredible business opportunity, one that fits into the pockets of time we have as busy moms. It’s not just about making money on the side; it’s about building a pathway to a life where we don’t have to choose between financial stability and being there for our children. This business has been my journey towards less guilt and more freedom. It’s given me the chance to earn while still being present for those irreplaceable moments with my kids. And I want to share this opportunity with you. If you’re a working mom struggling with guilt and looking for a change, let’s talk. This could be the start of your journey towards a life where work and motherhood coexist beautifully, without the guilt. Drop me a message. Let’s explore how this business could be the start of a new, guilt-free chapter for you. 💼💖 #WorkingMomsFreedom #GuiltFreeMotherhood #BusinessOpportunity

N E W • Y E A R Typically I don’t “start” the new year until til my 01/10 birthday. I’ve been reflecting for the last month about 2023 and here are my thoughts. This year brought on a ton of self growth for myself. I learned more about setting boundaries. Creating my joy. Not apologizing. Discovering who I really am. I’m not saying 2023 didn’t have its challenges. It did. There were of course low points, summer was particularly difficult. After a medication increase in September, I’m now back to feeling myself. Going into 2024, my focus is growth, happiness, and communication. I have big goals for my business @panekartistry — goals to grow even more there. To try new things. Step out of my comfort zone even more. I went to an event hosted by @detroitmoms where I didn’t know a single person! I want to keep stepping out of that box. What were you proud of in 2023? What are your goals for 2024? • • • • #everymothercounts #healthylady #happybaby #motheryourself #guiltfreemotherhood #guiltfreewellness #uniteinmotherhood #loveyourself #maternalhealth #selfcare #ig_motherhood #hellomytribe #honestmotherhood #postpartum #motherhoodunplugged #thisismotherhood #momcommunity #momlife #motherhoodunited #motherhooduncensored #fourthtrimester #thisispostpartum #reflection #newyear #happynewyear y

I’m not here to convince any woman to change her life, be more like me, or stop doing what she’s doing. I am here, however, to let you know that IF you want something different, trust that. If you feel like something is missing… If you thought life should be more beautiful than this… If you think you have to or should… If you would do things differently but feel guilt…. I’m here to give you a big old fat permission slip to trust your desires above all else and to remind you that you are the only one who can give your kids a happy mother who loves life. Society would have you believe the best thing you can give your children is all of yourself but that’s a lie. Even if you can’t see a way…. Even if you don’t know how… Start by acknowledging your desire and not making yourself wrong. And then make sure you’re following @emilie.karun for lots of love, ass kicking, and advice on exactly HOW to revive the woman behind the mother. #MomGuilt #guiltFreeMotherhood #MomLifeStruggles #NoMoreMomGuilt #MomGuiltJourney #GuiltFreeParenting #MomGuiltReality #ReleaseMomGuilt #GuiltTripsNoMore #MomGuiltFreeZone overwhelmed, balance, self care, comparison, motherhood expectations

"I feel like I am failing" A Client came to me with this statement sometime back. She said I feel like I am failing. I am always angry at something or the other. My family says that they have think 10 times before saying something to me. After going into a deep conversation, we realised that the real reason isnt too complex to process. A beautiful post by @momwell came to the rescue. I am sharing this today because most of us start digging deep before checking out the current situations 👩🍼You are a mother who is learning every day. 👨👩👦 Sometimes all you need is additional support. 💤 Maybe you are operating on limited sleep. 💃 Mayb you are someone who is managing different roles in a day. 👩🍼Maybe whatever you do goes unvalued. 💃You are a mother who misses her identity. You are struggling with the identity shift. You are unable to prioritize your own needs. 🧘♀️You might be struggling with mental health. As a new mom coach I take my clients on a transformative journey where we identify the root cause of the issue (which usually goes unnoticed) set right expectation from self and create a beautiful journey in accordance to what you want and how you can get it Comment YES if you are ready to take back the control back in your life and I will reach out to you #newmomcoach #momcoach #mom #momrage #angrymom #momsupport #womansupportingwomen #momidentitycrisis #takeyourpowerback #worthymom #guiltfreemotherhood #happymom
Can you stomach taking time for you, guilt-free ?! 🤢 Last weekend I flew to Portugal to visit my lovely mate @little_family_big_adventures 👯♀️ And I went on my tod, leaving my kids and partner to fend for themselves 😅 And honestly - I experienced those 4 glorious days away without the slightest twinge of guilt creeping in. And that makes me so very proud!🩷 I can’t tell you how many women I meet who feel so utterly overwhelmed with guilt (and even shame) for taking even an hour away from their families - let alone 4 whole days! And while taking a solo break like this has definitely taken working up to…it feels amazing that I’m able to carve out this type of space for myself now, unapologetically ✨Understanding I’m worthy of it ✨ Believing I’m deserving of it ✨ Trusting everyone will be ok without me for a bit ✨ Knowing it’s not just me that will benefit The guilt we experience as women and Mums when we hit pause on our care-giving duties and press play on showing OURSELVES attention is so very natural - but also unbelievably toxic 🦠 Somehow society has infiltrated a narrative telling us that abandoning our own needs at the expense of others is UNACCEPTABLE, SELFISH or INDULGENT 😳 But I’m telling you now - it’s actually a NECESSITY 🙏🏼 Carving out time to focus on ourselves is the key ingredient that allows us to feel connected to ourselves as individuals, in our own rights 🚨It’s a signal to ourselves that we are worthy, deserving and loved And it communicates the most powerful lesson to our kids about the importance of self-worth and self-care I appreciate a long weekend away may feel a bit of a stretch- so stick it on your vision board in that case!! 😂 But there are SO MANY other ways to start flexing this muscle and getting used to claiming that guilt free you-time so that one day taking a weekend away WILL feel achievable 🙌🏽 But you have to start somewhere - even 30 minutes will do you wonders! And if you notice your guilt creeping in, whatever you do don’t let it win this battle! (And if it’s shouting too loud, I can help you learn how to turn down the volume! Just get in touch!) Are you up for it?? 🙌🏽
Supporting mothers with specially abled children is crucial. Here are five tips to help them lead a guilt-free motherhood: 1. **Acknowledge Your Strength:** Recognize that being a mother of a specially abled child is an incredible journey that requires extraordinary strength and resilience. Understand that you are doing your best, and your love and care make a significant difference in your child's life. 2. **Seek Support:** Don't hesitate to reach out to support groups, therapists, and friends who can provide emotional support and guidance. Sharing your experiences with others who understand can be incredibly comforting. 3. **Embrace Self-Care:** Remember that taking care of yourself is not selfish but necessary. Allocate time for self-care activities that rejuvenate your mind and body. A healthier and happier you can better support your child. 4. **Celebrate Achievements:** Celebrate your child's accomplishments, no matter how small they may seem. Each step forward is a victory, and you should be proud of the progress your child makes, as well as the role you play in their growth. 5. **Challenge Guilt:** Understand that having a specially abled child is not your fault. It's essential to let go of any guilt you may feel about your child's condition. Focus on creating a loving and nurturing environment for them, and remember that your love is what matters most. Remember, you are not alone in this journey, and your love and dedication are invaluable to your child's well-being. #guiltfreemotherhood

Me and my husband & kids moved from Dublin to the country 2yrs ago and for the first few months I felt lost .. After moving, it felt like something was missing but I didn’t know what that was I missed my old life and felt like I would never enjoy life in the countryside. Going for a walk on country roads was ‘boring’, I couldn’t people watch and there were no places to stop for coffee along the way. I desperately wanted my old happy self back but wasn’t sure how. I knew I needed to change my attitude if I wanted to be happy. So I decided to STOP comparing everything to my old life and focus on the things I loved about my new life. When out for a walk, I started focusing on the things I loved, the quiet, nature. When driving my daughter to creche, we sang in the car. I created small rituals that I loved doing and over time I started to feel like things were falling into place and I started to enjoy life in the country. If you’d like support because you feel lost and you’re not sure how to get your old self back - know that you’re not alone and that you can find your happy self again , if you’d like support, dm me ‘balance’ Lidia x #findingbalanceinmotherhood #findingjoyinmotherhood #coachformoms #coachformums #lifecoachformoms #lifecoachformums #mindsetcoachformums #mindsetcoachformoms #guiltfreemotherhood #wellnesscoachformoms #wellnesscoachforwomen
Guilt free motherhood 💖 I used to feel guilty for enjoying days at home with my baby, prioritizing fun activities like beach trips and friend catch-ups over chores, errands and baby naps. Silly right? 🥴 Because now my time with baby is my "day off" paid work, I started to feel the need to take it easy and enjoy myself, and I've realized the importance of enjoying it guilt-free. 🌞 So, I've started including more fun activities that we can both enjoy together, making every moment count. Who else can relate to this? 🙋♀️ We don't need permission to savor the things we love. In fact, it's essential for recharging our batteries, filling our cups 🍵, and being the best moms, partners, workers, and humans we can be. 💪🏼✨ So tell me, what exciting activities are you doing with your little one this week?🤱 Let's inspire each other! 💕 #guiltfreemotherhood #momlife #makingmemories #nzmom #newmom #motherhoodmoments #guiltfreemoments #selfcare #joyfuldays #cherishedmoments #parentingbliss #beachday #lifewithbaby #momgoals #rechargeyourself #embracemotherhood
Hey there working mama! Do you feel a huge weight is lifted since the kiddos are back in school? Well, I do! It's so great to get back to a normal daily routine. Back to school can be such a relief for some parents. And super stressful for others. For me, it means I can focus, concentrate, and get down to business. I can go to work and actually work without worrying what my daughter is doing. Now that she's returned to school, my mind is finally at ease and I feel a huge weight lifted off me. If you're a parent who works outside the home - do you feel relieved that the kids are back in school? . . . #workingmomlife #momofonegirl #workingmotherhood #oneanddone #workingmothers #workingmomma #momswhowork #backtoschool #momsroutine #momschedule #mompost #supportingmoms #momssupportmoms #momtruths #guiltfreemotherhood #morethanamom #canadianmomblog #ontarioblogger #canadiancontentcreator #momcontent #momcontentcreator
I often find that when clients feel stuck in a job, it's because they think they have no options. All they see are the reasons they’re stuck. Bills Mortgage Childcare When my clients come to me in this situation - I help them realize there are always options but they just can’t see them because they’re so stuck in the story of ‘I’m stuck and I hate my job’ Feeling stuck is what keeps them stuck and miserable. Instead of focusing on reasons to be stuck, I teach them how to accept where they are. By 👉 Identifying the thoughts that are keeping them stuck. And 💟 learning to identify the thoughts as unhelpful before letting them go 👆mastering this is key. It doesn’t mean they no longer hate their job, but they’re not consumed by the hatred AND They start thinking clearer - and get new ideas. I'm always amazed at the difference a simple shift in thinking can make. If you feel stuck in a job you hate and would like support, my 1:1 program is for you.

You asked your husband to take responsibility for cleaning up the kids toys after they go to bed because you do so much and he should be helping more. Then one night, after putting the kids to bed to your surprise - he did it. Your sitting room is nice and clean because he put the toys away. You think about saying thank you but then you think to yourself, well I do everything else and he should be doing this anyway. So you sit down to watch TV with him and say nothing. The next time he helps, even though it’s something he should be doing and you shouldn’t have to ask. Think of the positives. 👉 He listened to you which shows he cares 👉 He put in the effort, even though he was tired after a long days work. 👉 It means you don’t need to clean up and you can sit down with him. Saying thank you will plant a seed 🌱and he will start looking for other ways to help. Research shows that showing and receiving gratitude 🙏 in your relationship will make you happier. So, instead of not acknowledging your husband for what he did, why not thank him? Before you know it your husband will start to notice everything you do. Because he feels appreciated he will start appreciating you more. 💟 If you feel unappreciated and as a result you feel unhappy, in my 1:1 coaching program I help you get your joy back.

When my clients come to me saying they wake up in the morning and the first thing they do is check work emails because they feel worried about not having enough time during the day I ask "Does checking your email relieve your worry?" The answer is always no. So I ask Why do you still check your email first thing? And they reply - to see if there's anything urgent which needs my attention. They think that by getting ahead of their email, this will relieve the worry. But it never does. They have accepted worry as the norm, as a result are constantly on the lookout for things to be worried about. When in reality, this is not the norm they want & by overcoming the worry they can learn to enjoy mornings with the husband & kids. When I work with clients, we do 2 things a) get to the root of the worry and find the underlying problem b) i teach them to manage worry so that when it does crop up, it doesn't overtake their precious mornings with their families One of the tools I teach my clients is to schedule worry time. This is where they set aside 10 minutes per day where they write down all their worries. Once the 10 minutes is up, anything that crops up during the day, is postponed until worry time the following day. Once worry time is done, they are free to enjoy breakfast with the family where they are truly present. In my 1:1 program I work with mothers who feel unhappy with work & family life. We go deep into their life and look at what needs to change before creating a step by step plan which will allow them to create the type of family life they want.

Do you ever feel so depleted at the end of the day that you end up in bed at the same time as the kids instead of enjoying a glass of wine with your partner? You woke up feeling worried because you have an important work presentation and you’re not sure where you’ll get the time to prepare because your calendar is full. You try to get ahead by checking your emails before you get up. Your partner reminds you this is the 2nd time this week and it’s only Wednesday. You struggle to stay on top of your workload even when you start early & work through lunch. You were the last one to collect the kids from the minders again and you feel guilty.. On top of that, you snap at the kids on the way home because they just won’t stop fighting and then you feel even more guilty. When it comes to bedtime, you jump into bed at the same time as the kids because you’re so tired. You thought motherhood would be fulfilling - but you just feel like a workhorse. You wonder if there’s a light at the end of the tunnel ….. In my 1:1 program I work with mothers who feel unhappy with where they are. We go deep into their life and look at what needs to change before creating a step by step plan which will allow them to create the type of family life they want.

Guilt-free motherhood is the 1st step for a successful mommy journey. #guiltfreemotherhood
🤦🏼♀️Motherhood is a complete mind F and mental battle. It’s like having the best sense of joy you can’t put into words while stepping on tiny legos with your hair on fire. You go to war everyday with yourself, your patience, your mental wellbeing. One minute you’re on top of the world patting yourself on the back for being a pretty epic mom and the next week you’re crying on the toilet beating yourself up that you can do better. This week was no different. Milana has been exceptionally progressing but I’ve been battling the “do I keep nursing Alora or lay my pumps to rest”. For one, I don’t know if I want to have 3 kids. Two seems and feels perfect. And I’ve been pretty adamant about that. But sometimes our instincts kick in or the “what if we have one more” comes to mind? I’ll be 38 this year. Having another baby at any point sounds just as terrifying as giving birth to my first. And for some reason I can’t put a finger on it. I want closure. Like “this is my last time ever nursing a growing beautiful human being that is truly a gift from God” closure and moving on. On the other hand, theres the “what if we actually do have one more” thought. Do I donate all the clothes she’s outgrown? Do I sell all the infant gadgets and gizmos? Or do I hold on to these items like a the hoarder that I’m not, in a “what if” mentality that unintentionally manifests another baby. At the end of the day, it’s God’s plan. But it’s deriving me completely NUTS. 🤔Mamas, did you or do you battle with this? #MomGuiltStruggles #ContemplatingBabyNumberThree #EmotionalMotherhood #WantingAnotherBaby #MixedFeelingsMom #GuiltFreeMotherhood #SiblingYearnings #BabyOnMyMind #ReflectingOnMotherhood
Some of the biggest questions that mums have around guilt include: "Am I doing enough for my children?" "How do I balance my own needs with those of my children?" "Is it okay to prioritise self-care and personal fulfillment?" "How can I overcome the guilt of not being there for every moment or milestone?" "Am I damaging my children by pursuing my career or personal goals?" "How can I let go of the guilt associated with asking for help or taking time for myself?" "How do I navigate societal expectations and judgments related to motherhood?" "Is it normal to feel guilty even when I know I'm doing my best?" "How can I find a healthy balance between work, family, and personal life without feeling guilty?" "What are some strategies for managing guilt and maintaining a positive mindset as a mum?" So much inner conflict! 🤯 So many uncertainties! 🤔 I’ve dealt with a fair share of guilt throughout my motherhood journey but I can say today, that don’t struggle with guilt anymore. I loved writing my latest article about guilt.

Mum guilt can be a heavy burden to carry. But it doesn't have to define our motherhood experience. By recognizing the toxic guilt perpetuated by the perfect mother myth and intensive mothering, we can free ourselves from its shackles. Embracing imperfection, practicing self-compassion, setting boundaries, and challenging our inner critic are vital steps towards letting go of guilt. As mothers, when we release guilt's grip, we open ourselves up to love, inspiration, freedom, and energy, allowing us to truly thrive and enjoy the precious journey of motherhood. I’m writing a blog article, where I explore the different types of guilt experienced by mothers, with a particular focus on toxic guilt. I'll delve into the perfect mother myth and the concept of intensive mothering, understanding their role in perpetuating guilt. Moreover, I will discuss 5 practical strategies to break free from the clutches of guilt: ✨Recognize Your Triggers ✨Challenge the Inner Critic ✨Embrace Imperfection ✨Set Boundaries ✨Practice Self-Compassion While I finish writing that article, I’d like to invite you to a local Mama and Me circle (in person in Mauritius) at The Care House in Pereybere. It’s a wonderful place where children learn and play and also have access to professional consultations, homework support and so much more. AND it’s a place where mums can meet like minded mums. On Wednesday, June 21, I’ll be facilitating a special Mama and Me session and talk about guilt. Click the link in my bio to book your spot and bring a friend because the more the merrier!
